Holzie.89 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 If it was paid research position -> employment. If you received recognition -> awards. Otherwise, either volunteer or diversity of experience should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I agree with Holzie. I put mine under employment (as I was being paid with studentships) and then put the studentships under awards and that seemed to work out fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distortion Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 hey all sorry to dig up an old thread, but im a bit stumped on how to enter research publications and conference presentations. I'm an MSc graduate and have 3 pubs, and numerous podium/oral presentations at international conferences. On other MD apps for other programs I listed these as individual entries - however for UofA it fills up my 5 diversity spots without allowing me to include any other (non-research) extracurricular commitments! Suggestions on how others with fairly research heavy applications have tackled this issue? Is it pushing my luck to have "Journal Publications" as a single entry and list multiple within the description? Thanks for any advice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distortion Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 http://www.premed101.com/forums/showpost.php?p=635193&postcount=2 is this still the generally agreed upon standard approach??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellokeke Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I only have one paper and a few abstracts so I lumped it into one entry and also used the additional comments section. My citations weren't standard though i.e. I didn't list all the authors Since your publications are more extensive, you might want to contact the office to see if they have any specific advice for grad students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distortion Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks for the advice - I tried contacting the admissions office but unfortunately they were unable to offer any additional advice. They just said to use our best judgement, and also referred me back to the brief instructions provided on the website. In terms of strategies for inputting multiple publications, has anyone simply gone with bulking them all into 1 entry called Research, or Publications? Obviously not all the full titles would fit so I'm a bit hesitant in that regard (although PMIDs might be sufficient?). Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks again!
